Smog From 1957

I was searching around the ol’ interwebs last night looking for some inspiration for a design I’m working on for a friend. I found this in the LA Times archives. This can was being sold on eBay.

What a solid rep we’ve had here in LA for quite some time, where stars and asthma live. Hawt.

“These were apparently sold in the Fun Shop at Farmers Market and produced by Carlton (or Carleton) Young’s Los Angeles Smog Corp. Hal Tamblin was listed as a vice president, according to a 1962 item in The Times.”
